Thanks to a warmer climate and skilled winemakers, the UK is producing wines with incredible freshness, elegance and personality.

In the last 10 years, English wine production has grown by a staggering 123%, with southern regions like Kent, Sussex, and Norfolk leading the way.

Wineries in Our Collection

Flint Vineyards (Norfolk)

A rising star in East Anglia, Flint Vineyards is known for its innovative, small-batch still wines. Their cool-climate Bacchus and Pinot Noir Précoce showcase the freshness and aromatic intensity that make English still wines so exciting. Look out for textured whites and delicate reds with a modern edge.

Gusbourne (Kent)

One of the UK’s most acclaimed producers, Gusbourne crafts world-class sparkling wines from Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay grown in the clay and chalk soils of Appledore, Kent. Their vintage Brut Reserve and Blanc de Blancs are benchmarks for English sparkling wine - refined, expressive and beautifully balanced.

Harrow & Hope (Buckinghamshire)

Located on the Thames Valley slopes, Harrow & Hope produces sparkling wines with depth and character. Their Brut is rich, toasty and complex, made in the traditional method from Champagne grapes. A fantastic example of how English terroir can deliver serious quality and finesse.

Henners (East Sussex)

We stock the ever-popular Henners Brut NV—an approachable, fruit-forward English sparkling wine that’s made using the same techniques as Champagne. With crisp apple, citrus and subtle brioche notes, it’s a reliable favourite for any celebration.
